Hadi
should totally blame himself for causing PR’s demise, instead of unfairly
blaming and attacking the DAP

PAS president Datuk Seri Abdul Hadi
Awang’s insistence that Pakatan Rakyat ( PR) still exists is only an attempt by
him to avoid more self inflicted embarrassment to PAS.

After so much has been said by PAS
leaders that the party’s 61 st Muktamar ( General Assembly ) decision to sever
ties with DAP is not final, PAS Syura Council will have to meet to do the “academic exercise” of
accepting the Muktamar decision; hence it will be a great embarrassment if Hadi
were to admit that PR no longer exists.

But the fact is crystal clear—PAS
Muktakmar motion has killed off PR that came into being on April 21, 2008 after
voters had given their strong support to the opposition parties in the nation’s
12 the general election.

Many supporters have found it
strange that after having made the decision to sever ties with DAP and killed
off PR, PAS has kept insisting that PR still exists and that business can go on
as usual.

This is self deception by PAS and
Hadi has to accept that PR no longer exists.

It is baffling that Hadi has said
that PR continues to exist because DAP had no right to make the announcement on
PR’s dissolution and that DAP did not understand the meaning of the pact.

Why has he not defended that PAS
Muktamar decision to sever ties with DAP is not final because the Muktamar is
not the highest decision making body in the party?

Hadi knows very well that on the
issue of severing ties with DAP, the Muktamar is the highest decision making
body in PAS.

As such, instead of giving laughable
explanations, Hadi who has also violated the decisions of the PR leadership
council prior to the Muktamar motion, should be bold enough to admit that PAS
has killed off PR.

While Hadi is so powerful in his
party that he could instruct that the motion to sever ties with DAP to be
tabled and passed without debate at the Muktamar, he still has much to learn
about joining and the meaning of a pact.

When a party joins a pact, it has to
abide by the agreements and decisions made by the coalition.

Yet Hadi has been guilty of serious violations of the PR Common Policy
Framework and the PR consensus operational principle.

Hadi should therefore totally blame himself for causing PR’s demise, instead
of unfairly blaming and attacking the DAP.
